TBN X A Different Mirror

A Different Mirror (ADM) is a multidisciplinary arts exhibition and workshop series that explores body image and its relationship to identity.

In April 2014 we launched an exhibition and series of educational activities exploring body image, perception and it’s relationship to identity. The initial pilot project, an exhibition exploring body image and identity, was launched in April 2014 and was funded by the Arts Council and National Lottery.

Socially constructed ideas about race and gender remain key in how girls and Women of Colour perceive themselves. Patterns of images used by media, culture and society constantly tell us what we should look like and who we should be. Using film, visual art, dance and poetry, A Different Mirror provides a safe and creative space for girls and women to explore the conflicts about how we see ourselves versus how we are seen.

It holds up a mirror to see and know ourselves differently, asking us to find the courage and confidence to be who we are inside and out.

TBN X Black British Feminists

‘Black British Feminism: Past, Present and Futures’ is a one-day conference on 14 March 2015 in Brixton in collaboration with theBlack Cultural Archivesand Chardine Taylor-Stone. It attempts to trace black feminist journeys and legacies into the present. Centred on intergenerational dialogue, the interactive programme encourages reflection, celebration and a return to an activist-centred movement.

Black British feminism as a critical social force is entrenched in the rich history of black Women migrants organizing and struggling against inequity, injustice and oppression. As our contemporary economic, political and cultural climate continues to hit those on the margins hardest, black women remain disproportionately effected. But why must we remember those who came before us? How far have we come? What role does black British feminism play in contemporary struggles? Has black British feminism been siphoned off into solely an intellectual arena? And how do we now define blackness and its relationship to African-Asian solidarity?

TBN X Journeys - 'The Story Of' Brunch Club

Feast your way through brunch and new works by emerging writers. Inspired by the connections people make over food and stories that move them, The Story Of is an intimate supper club and book club all at once.

You’re invited to join us and explore what journeys mean to our chef, our writers and their works. You’ll get a unique chance to read excerpts of their work before the event and discuss the stories and poems with the writers themselves.
